Blame Canada

So we decided to take a trip to Quebec.  More than enough people wanted to join in so we figured we would roll deep with a nice mixture of Americans and Canadians.  The crew consisted of  Louis-Felix Paradis, Laurent-Nicolas Paquin, Ben Bilocq, Nick Dirks, Keegan Valaika,  Jonas Michelot, Alex Cantin, and Greg Desjardins.  The media end of this crew was Oli Gagnon and Dave Lehl with the pictures and Jan Snarski and myself with the motion pictures.  We split up into 2 crews for the day and one big gang for the nights. Jonas is looking a little scary here in the frozen tundra outside the Ozone.  This place is amazing. Not only is this the hotel we stayed at, but it is a nightclub as well. Thumbs up from the walk-in. Tall boys!  Left to right: Keegan, Jonas, Laurent, Nick Keegan inside the Ozone dropping the "VG".  Jonas repping the 4th grade bloods. Pretty sure this picture is from the third or fourth night at the Ozone, but I dont' remember.  Regardless it is ol' Larry hangin with a blonde gal. Jonas slipped... Nick Slipped... Keegan picked them both up. This is the first spot we went to.  The landing is on a mellow street but Keegan still managed to hit 2 cars. This is Big Louie Lou's truck.  He has a sweet sticker on the back window! This is Ben's car.  He rolls with a flat bar on the roof. No big deal. If you can catch this sneaky Leprechaun, you will be granted 3 wishes. Jonas taking some polaroids.  If you look closely at his right hand you can see he is in the Pen 15 club. If you are in Quebec and stay at the Ozone, there is this amazing crepery down the street. Go there. Louie pouring out some sizzurp. Jan giving the thumbs up on club monkey night at the Ozone.  Check the ape screaming in the background. Jonas and friends hanging out at the mall. Sometimes photographers will force you to do things.  Dave punked Nick into sliding this thing in a frontal boarding position. Ok, so you might be thinking "not that played out red ledge".  Well if you are, then you are mistaken.  Take a photographer here and they are sure to be bummed.  I think a lot of people are not seeing the big picture here.  Snowboarding has very few spots in which people can go year after year and leave a recognizable mark.  Keegan dropped some major hambones on this thing last year, so did Joey, so did Will Lavigne, so did the list goes on.  That is what makes this spot good, not to mention it is gigantic, red,  and cement. Sooner or later snowboarding will wake up.  But incase you are wondering we didn't even hit it, just chipped ice and dug for 3 hours. Cheers!
